Passports / Visas

A current passport with at least six (6) months validity from the date of return to Australia is required for your travel plans. Please note, we must obtain a copy of these documents before or no later than the time of final payment.

Should any passenger be traveling on a passport other than an Australian passport, please ensure that you have a valid re-entry permit to Australia.

We would also strongly recommend that you contact our office to determine whether or not a Visa is required to enter any of the countries you are visiting.
